Why do people in China, Japan and South Korea have different festival celebrations on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month?
Maybe it’s because people in different countries have different traditions and cultures.
Since (既然) people from different countries have different traditions and cultures, why do people in Japan and South Korea celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the same lunar date as China?
I think it’s because people in Japan and South Korea also use the Chinese lunar calendar.
In the past, people in Japan and South Korea learned a lot about traditions and festivals from China so they kept the same celebration date.
Chinese culture has a great influence (影响) on other countries!
